(I'm currently thinking maths biology because likely to score the lowest on, but would be a shame since I've already worked quite a bit for it, so maybe drop business instead, even though it's easier).

I heard Math Bio was horrifically easy last year. But Hugo's on sabbatical this year right?

Math Bio isn't really necessary for later Math Bio modules, however. Number Theory is perhaps a bit more useful for later NT.

Have no idea about Intro to Business or a great deal about Variational.

Drop one of number theory, or intro to business. Variational principles and math bio are both interesting courses, and its quite easy to get high marks in the exam (variational principles exams have the same questions EVERY SINGLE YEAR), and as was said, 50% of the marks from math bio last year were for drawing five simple phase diagrams.

I did number theory in first year, and did horrifically because there are no lectures and I didn't have the self-discipline to go through the material myself!

As a MORSE student you should probably do introduction to business, you'll probably find it common sense. The lectures are pointless, though- last year they put everything online and they didn't really teach much theory in the lectures. Multiple choice exam might sound easy, but its one of those where you get negative marks for incorrect answers.

Thanks a lot for this!

For varprincp, do you mean ... exactly the same questions?
Just about to print Oleg's notes for it from a few years ago, and from them it looks like you still have to put in a bit of work.

As it happens, I did the IFS's CeFS and DipFS (silly financial diploma-things) and they were mostly multiple choice.
They weren't even that hard, but the multiple choice nature does make it harder to pick up marks.
So yep, sounds pretty similar.

I mean EXACTLY the same questions, on rotation. Just look at the past papers and you will see...
